Department of Distance Education Law & Order | Police suspect teens of bombing | By Jeff Zeleny I Senior Reporter | Three Lincoln teens were appre hended Tuesday on suspicion of mak ing a homemade bomb with toilet cleaner and an empty soda bottle. The teens, one 14 and two 15, al legedly threw the bombs out a back window of a 1956 blue Chevrolet they were driving in east Lincoln, said po lice Sgt. Ann Heermann. A Lincoln East High School stu dent called police after the teens handed him a bomb in the school park ing lot about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday. The student was not injured when the bottle exploded, police said. Minutes later, the classic automo bile was spotted near 71st Street and Englewood Drive when the teens were seen flinging another bomb. The bomb exploded in front of 7141 Englewood Drive, Heermann said. When police responded to the bombing reports, they saw the three teens in the Chevrolet. The teens all were referred to the police department’s Youth Aid Unit on sus picion of possessing an explosive de vice. No damage was reported to police, Heermann said.

Charles Dunlap, a staff judge advocate for the U.S. Strategic Air Command in Omaha, presented a slide presentation on the U.S. peace-keep ing effort in Somalia. “We went to Somalia because of the expanse of human suffering there was in that country,” Dunlap told the Association of Students of the Univer sity of Nebraska. He explained how the United States flew more than 2,000 flights to Soma lia to airlift over 28,000 metric tons of food to those in need. Not all parts of the Somalian peace keeping effort were easy, Dunlap said. “We had a real conflict with the Red Cross,” he said. “They wanted us to place their logo on our planes, which we found we could live with. But then they insisted that we not arm these planes, despite the fact that about every Red Cross worker in the coun try carried a gun.” Dunlap also discussed aspects of Somalia to which the American pub lie had never been exposed. “There are things you don’t hear about. Like the mutilation. There were mines in Somalia,” he said. “When you step on one, you want it to kill you. You don’t want to live after what one of those things can do to you.” Having witnessed the Somalian peace-keeping effort, Dunlap said he would do it differently if he had to do it again. “Given the opportunity, I would not send as many troops. I would have preferred airdrops of food to smaller villages,” he said. Seow Continued from Page 1 print media, compelling independent newspaper owners to sell their inter ests and form one giant public news paper company. The government appoints the newspapers’ board of directors, Seow said, and controls their editorial con tent. “Nowhere else in the world, except perhaps Stalinist Russia, could all this have happened." Finishing his lecture, Seow said people often think of Singapore as an island paradise. He recalled an old saying in re sponse to that view: t “The proof of the pudding lies in the eating.” Seow said 3,000 to 4,000 Singaporeans emigrated from the country each year. The country’s population is about 3 million, he said. “If it is all the paradise it is made out to be, why have so many Singaporeans emigrated and are still emigrating from the country?” 1*1* laMnl endars to be at the Crib by 9:00 p.m., Thursday, Hovember 30, 1993 Kunttm %, ^Student , , ,, HKstYaar 1&» L:.? utouimml
